Article Tools

â Marian 6, Williams Valley 5, 10 innings - The Colts (5-4) won a huge game Tuesday to crawl back into the Division II race with this road win in 10 innings.

The game was resumed from the ninth inning (darkness) with both teams tied 3-3, then in the top of the 10th Marian struck for a three-run rally with two outs. KJ Snerr reached on an error, before a walk to Nick Kweder put two runners on base. After a strikeout, Frank Nietz lined a hard shot for an RBI single, and then Anthony Agosti delivered a single to right to plate two more runners for a 6-3 lead.

Williams Valley came firing back, taking advantage of an error and four straight walks for one run with no outs. A sacrifice fly out made it 6-5, but the Colts' defense came through in the clutch with a game-ending double play, their second of the game.

Kweder had two of Marian's eight hits, with a double and single. Snerr and Agosti singled and drove in two runners each. Nietz singled in a run, while Luke Stawick, Pete Baddick and Justin Bilka all singled.

Williams Valley, the preseason choice to win the division, was led by Travis Crider and Dennis Jansen, both with two singles. Owen Daniel, Brandon Miller and Ron Daub added base hits.

â Panther Valley 11, Jim Thorpe 0 - Luke Stano tossed a no-hitter, striking out nine and walking two, and his teammates made short work of the Olympians in Summit Hill with an eight-hit attack in this Division I matchup.

Jake Szczecina and Colton Black had a pair of singles for the Panthers, while Mark Williams and Kyle Ferryman supplied the extra-base hitting with doubles. Stano and Nate Hrebik chipped in with singles.
